ERP for precision engineering

Manufacturing ERP, built around the schedule.

Amplify ERP runs the whole job, from quote to despatch, in one system. Finite-capacity planning, batch traceability your auditor can follow, and job costs taken from what actually happened on the shop floor.

The problem

One job, four places to look.

Each one works. None of them knows about the others, so nobody sees the whole job until it is late, short or over budget.

  • The plan A whiteboard Out of date by the first breakdown.
  • Traceability A filing cabinet Found when the auditor asks, not before.
  • Hours Paper timesheets Keyed in days later, from memory.
  • Costs A spreadsheet Right once the job has already shipped.

The answer

One record of the job.

Every department works on the same job record, so nothing is copied, re-keyed or reconciled.

One booking at the machine

  • The plan Re-planned the moment work is booked.
  • Traceability Batch, heat number and cert on every issue.
  • Hours Booked at the machine, as it happens.
  • Costs Live on the job, against the estimate.

Quote to despatch

One route card for the whole business.

Walk through the product
  1. Op 10

    Quote

    Cost it from routing times, rates and material. Quantity breaks and margin built in.

  2. Op 20

    Sales order

    Win the quote and it becomes the order. The customer's dates drive everything after.

  3. Op 30

    Works order

    Raised from the order line at the right issue, with scrap allowance and serials.

  4. Op 40

    Plan

    Finite capacity across every work centre, in strict routing order.

  5. Op 50

    Make

    Operators book at the machine. Good, scrap and time land on the job.

  6. Op 60

    Inspect

    First articles, inspection reports and NCRs block what should not ship.

  7. Op 70

    Despatch

    Delivery note, certificate of conformity and the invoice, from one confirmation.

What it does

Trace it, capture it, cost it.

Trace

From goods-in to the certificate of conformity

Every batch carries its heat number and cert through issue, processes and serials.

  • Certs required at goods-in, or the batch is quarantined
  • First article must pass before anything despatches
  • NCRs raised from scrap and failed inspections

Capture

A tablet at the machine, not a login to the office

Operators pick their name, enter a PIN and book good parts, scrap and time.

  • Holds and machine-down stop the clock and the plan
  • Drawings and instructions on the booking screen
  • Attendance and indirect time alongside job time
More on capture

Cost

Every works order is a job account

Material issued, time booked and subcontract returned, against the estimate.

  • Labour, machine and overhead rates per work centre
  • Stock and WIP valuation as at any date
  • Sales invoices raised from what was despatched

Aerospace first

Built for the audit, not bolted on for it.

Amplify ERP was designed around aerospace subcontract machining. The controls an AS9100 auditor asks about are how the system works, not a module you switch on.

Amplify ERP for aerospace

Issue-controlled parts

Routings, BOMs and inspection plans hang off the drawing issue. A released routing is revised, never edited.

Approved suppliers only

A special process cannot be released to a supplier whose approval has lapsed.

First article before despatch

Ballooned characteristics, measured against limits. A failed report raises its own NCR.

Serial or batch, per part

Serials allocated at release, scrapped by number, printed on the delivery note and the CofC.

Concessions on record

Use-as-is needs a concession reference. Closing an NCR needs root cause and corrective action.

An audit trail of everything

Who changed what, from what, to what, on every record, including the things since deleted.

Also in the box

The rest of the business, in the same system.

Quoting

Estimates from routings and rates, quantity breaks, margin as a share of price.

Purchasing and MRP

Time-phased material plan, supplier RFQs compared side by side, shortages by job.

Inventory

Batches, locations, stock takes, finished parts, free-issue material.

Invoicing

Invoices, deposits and credit notes from despatches, with your nominal codes.

Roles and permissions

Custom roles, price visibility, and a read-only viewer for auditors.

Ask

Questions in plain English, answered from your own data.

Xero and Sage

If you use Xero or Sage we have you covered!

Your ledgers stay in Xero or Sage. Amplify ERP does the manufacturing and hands your accounts package clean figures, coded to your nominals.

Beta partner programme

We're building this with machine shops, not just for them.

A small group of precision engineering firms is using Amplify ERP early and shaping what gets built next. There is room for a few more.
